Established in 1865, Domaine des Comtes Lafon has long stood as one of the finest white wine producers in the world. Based in Meursault, the Lafons make some of the most intensely precise and beautifully textured Burgundies. It’s no surprise that the wines are perennial favorites here at Crush.
When Dominique took over the estate in 1985 from his father René, he immediately began to return control of the vineyards to the Lafons from previous shareholder agreements and soon started to convert the vineyards to organic and biodynamic practices. Over the years, Lafon’s style has evolved from a deeper, richer, and more savory one to being laser focused, stony, and bright. Dominique’s legacy continues with his daughter, Léa, and nephew Pierre, who are now managing the estate.
White Burgundy
Comtes Lafon
Lafarge 2010-2022
There are few wines that matter to me as much as Lafarge's.
There's something magical and totally captivating about their understated grace.
Along with d'Angerville, Lafarge stands as the long-standing benchmark of Volnay. It's important to note that while Lafarge's wines from Volnay capture many people's interest, it would be a mistake to overlook their work in Beaune.

Red Burgundy: D’Angerville, Dujac, Fourrier, Lafarge, Mugneret-Gibourg, Roumier, Rousseau & More
There are nearly four dozen red Burgundies on the list below.
Many of my favorite producers are represented.
There's not much that needs to be said about many of the wines below.
Dujac, Lafarge, Mugneret-Gibourg, Roumier, and Rousseau are all well represented in the list below.
I should mention Simon Bize's 2021 Latricières-Chambertin, which is a great pairing of producer and vintage. Bize's stony and classical style shined in the element and terroir-soaked 2021 vintage.
White Burgundy: Bernard-Bonin, Colin-Morey, Dauvissat, Leflaive, Lafon, Raveneau, Roulot & More
The list below largely speaks for itself.
There are just shy of sixty different white Burgundies in the list below. Many of Burgundy's top white winemakers are included.
I should mention a couple of highlights and rarities. For starters, I should mention the three-liters of Roulot's 2007 Tesson Mon Plasir. Large formats of Roulot rarely see the light of day, and Jean-Marc's 2007s are spectacular.
There is also a wide range of Dauvissat's Chablis, including magnums.
